SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? One-time reconnaissance goes stale quickly, and raw monitoring feeds drown analysts in noise. This Skill provides a repeatable methodology for watching a target over time, deduplicating change signals, and turning meaningful deltas into actionable retest work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-lane delta tracking: Monitor live hosts, certificate/SAN changes, JavaScript bundle and source-map diffs, documentation changes, historical URL resurfacing, and cloud-resource naming drift. - Deduplication and campaign memory: Normalize signals by host, path template, object family, and environment marker, then persist compact facts (first seen, last seen, confidence, related workflow) so future runs reason about trends instead of rediscovering leads. - Delta-to-test triage: Classify every change as ignore, dossier append, manual retest, or new hypothesis branch, with priority given to new auth routes, import/export features, admin modules, and schema growth. - Use Case: During a months-long engagement, run this loop weekly to detect a newly exposed onboarding route, rank it as a high-priority retest candidate, and update the engagement dossier with only durable signal. ## Quick Start Use the continuous-surface-monitoring skill to compare this week's recon results against last week's snapshot and produce a ranked list of retest candidates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor attack surface changes over time?

Run a repeating loop of collect, normalize, deduplicate, compare to prior state, score for pivot value, and queue manual tests. Track lanes like live hosts, certificate SAN changes, JavaScript bundle diffs, and historical URL resurfacing rather than raw scan output.

What changes in recon data are worth retesting first?

Prioritize new auth or onboarding routes, new import/export or attachment functionality, new admin or support modules, new environment or region markers, and object-family growth in GraphQL or API schemas. These deltas most often expose untested attack paths.

How do I deduplicate noisy recon results?

Deduplicate by exact host or route, normalized path template, object family, service family, artifact origin, and environment marker. Keep only entries that are new, removed, renamed, or behaviorally different from the prior snapshot.

When should I use continuous monitoring instead of one-time recon?

Use continuous monitoring when the target justifies long-term coverage, such as multi-week engagements or recurring bug bounty programs. Fresh changes like a new host or reappearing archived route are often more valuable than a larger but stale corpus.

What should a campaign memory record for each finding?

Store the asset, source, first seen and last seen timestamps, confidence, related workflow, related object family, and why it matters. Compact durable facts let future runs reason about drift instead of rediscovering the same leads.
